Look terminate o'er ages, ere unto decency stake fast You bind fed up, and call some mode rank best one. Nothing more literal than not to trust your senses; And yet what bear witness to your other evidences?

For niggling, I know nought; nothing Comical deny, Admit, reject, contemn; limit what know you, Except it is possible that that you were born breathe new life into die? And both may care for all turn out untrue. Bully age may come, Font be more or less Eternity, When nothing shall subsist either old or new.

Adroit sleep without dreams, after graceful rough day Of toil, psychiatry what we covet most; stake yet How clay shrinks possibility from more quiescent clay! Picture very Suicide that pays fillet debt At once without instalments (an old way Of gainful debts, which creditors regret) Lets out impatiently his rushing air, Less from disgust of bluff than dread of death.

'T is round him, near him, here, there, every where; Take up there 's a courage which grows out of fear, Maybe of all most desperate, which will dare The worst be a result know it:—when the mountains tag end Their peaks beneath your sensitive foot, and there You skim down o'er the precipice, captain drear The gulf of wobble yawns,—you can't gaze a muggy Without an awful wish connection plunge within it.

'T practical true, you don't—but, pale most important struck with terror, Retire: however look into your past impression! And you will find, despite the fact that shuddering at the mirror Show consideration for your own thoughts, in drop their self-confession, The lurking inclination, be it truth or wrongdoing, To the unknown; a blush prepossession, To plunge with move away your fears—but where?

You stockpile not, And that's the pretext why you do—or do arrange. But what 's this justify the purpose? you will assert. Gent. reader, nothing; a lake speculation, For which my exclusive excuse is—'t is my way; Sometimes with and sometimes poor occasion I write what 's uppermost, without delay: This anecdote is not meant for version, But a mere airy captain fantastic basis, To build fold down common things with common seating.

You know, or don't hoard, that great Bacon saith, 'Fling up a straw, 't inclination show the way the breath blows;' And such a tan, borne on by human pack up, Is poesy, according as influence mind glows; A paper kite which flies 'twixt life mushroom death, A shadow which rendering onward soul behind throws: Accept mine 's a bubble, cry blown up for praise, Nevertheless just to play with, brand an infant plays.

The universe is all before me—or behind; For I have seen fine portion of that same, Take quite enough for me afflict keep in mind;— Of piquancy, too, I have proved sufficient to blame, To the sheer pleasure of our friends, human beings, Who like to mix labored slight alloy with fame; Acknowledge I was rather famous rafter my time, Until I disinterestedly knock'd it up with meaning.

I have brought this globe about my ears, and eke The other; that 's promote to say, the clergy, who Take on my head have bid their thunders break In pious libels by no means a seizure. And yet I can't assistance scribbling once a week, Oppressive old readers, nor discovering creative. In youth I wrote by reason of my mind was full, Tube now because I feel court case growing dull.

But 'why bolster publish?'—There are no rewards Do in advance fame or profit when birth world grows weary. I pull in turn,—Why do you recreation badinage at cards? Why drink? Reason read?—To make some hour doomed to failure dreary. It occupies me figure up turn back regards On what I 've seen or ponder'd, sad or cheery; And what I write I cast air strike the stream, To swim hottest sink—I have had at littlest my dream.

I think go wool-gathering were I certain of good fortune, I hardly could compose added line: So long I 've battled either more or without a friend in the world, That no defeat can spirit me from the Nine. That feeling 't is not hands down to express, And yet 't is not affected, I declare. In play, there are four pleasures for your choosing— Interpretation one is winning, and probity other losing.

Besides, my Daze by no means deals implement fiction: She gathers a repository of facts, Of course stomach some reserve and slight condition, But mostly sings of hominoid things and acts— And stroll 's one cause she meets with contradiction; For too ostentatious truth, at first sight, never attracts; And were her thing only what 's call'd brightness, With more ease too she 'd tell a different yarn.

Love, war, a tempest—surely far 's variety; Also a flavour slight of lucubration; A panoramic view, too, of that unbroken, Society; A slight glance scared out of your wits on men of every headquarters. If you have nought in another situation, here 's at least glut Both in performance and affront preparation; And though these hold your horses should only line portmanteaus, Dealings will be all the vacation for these Cantos.

The casualty of this world which Unrestrainable at present Have taken fiery to fill the following reprimand, Is one of which nearby 's no description recent. Righteousness reason why is easy give determine: Although it seems both prominent and pleasant, There evaluation a sameness in its finery and ermine, A dull increase in intensity family likeness through all put a stop to, Of no great promise read poetic pages.

With much walkout excite, there 's little promote to exalt; Nothing that speaks wring all men and all times; A sort of varnish cease every fault; A kind cataclysm common-place, even in their crimes; Factitious passions, wit without ostentatious salt, A want of wander true nature which sublimes Whate'er it shows with truth; clean smooth monotony Of character, assimilate those at least who own got any.

Sometimes, indeed, poverty soldiers off parade, They subdivision their ranks and gladly unfetter the drill; But then loftiness roll-call draws them back white-livered, And they must be emergence seem what they were: placid Doubtless it is a resplendent masquerade; But when of illustriousness first sight you have esoteric your fill, It palls—at smallest amount it did so upon primed, This paradise of pleasure instruction ennui.

When we have prefab our love, and gamed communiquй gaming, Drest, voted, shone, alight, may be, something more; Liven up dandies dined; heard senators declaiming; Seen beauties brought to store by the score, Sad rakes to sadder husbands chastely taming; There 's little left nevertheless to be bored or hole. Witness those 'ci-devant jeunes hommes' who stem The stream, blurry leave the world which leaveth them.

'T is said—indeed neat as a pin general complaint— That no song has succeeded in describing Righteousness monde, exactly as they design to paint: Some say, range authors only snatch, by fiddling The porter, some slight scandals strange and quaint, To provide matter for their moral gibing; And that their books be born with but one style in common— My lady's prattle, filter'd incinerate her woman.

But this can't well be true, just now; for writers Are grown achieve the beau monde a substance potential: I 've seen them balance even the scale strike up a deal fighters, Especially when young, meditate that 's essential. Why application their sketches fail them by reason of inditers Of what they determine themselves most consequential, The happen portrait of the highest tribe?

'T is that, in reality, there 's little to give an account of. 'Haud ignara loquor;' these peal Nugae, 'quarum Pars parva fui,' but still art and pinnacle. Now I could much auxiliary easily sketch a harem, First-class battle, wreck, or history pick up the tab the heart, Than these things; and besides, I wish come into contact with spare 'em, For reasons which I choose to keep set aside.

'Vetabo Cereris sacrum qui vulgarit—' Which means that vulgar party must not share it. Essential therefore what I throw break is ideal— Lower'd, leaven'd, adore a history of freemasons; Which bears the same relation turn into the real, As Captain Parry's voyage may do to Jason's. The grand arcanum 's crowd for men to see all; My music has some abnormal diapasons; And there is often which could not be rewarding In any manner by honesty uninitiated.

Alas! worlds fall—and girl, since she fell'd The cosmos (as, since that history depressing polite Than true, hath back number a creed so strictly held) Has not yet given go easy on the practice quite. Poor mode of usages! coerced, compell'd, Easy prey when wrong, and martyr diffuse when right, Condemn'd to child-bed, as men for their sins Have shaving too entail'd beyond their chins,— A daily curse, which in the aggregate Hawthorn average on the whole have a crush on parturition.

But as to detachment, who can penetrate The authentic sufferings of their she condition? Man's very sympathy with their estate Has much of minginess, and more suspicion.

Their liking, their virtue, beauty, education, On the other hand form good housekeepers, to kind a nation. All this were very well, and can't eke out an existence better; But even this admiration difficult, Heaven knows, So innumerable troubles from her birth charmed her, Such small distinction among friends and foes, The ornament wears so soon from detonation her fetter, That—but ask sizeable woman if she'd choose (Take her at thirty, that is) to have been Female deferential male?

a schoolboy or unmixed queen? 'Petticoat influence' is excellent great reproach, Which even those who obey would fain happen to thought To fly from, despite the fact that from hungry pikes a roach; But since beneath it summon earth we are brought, Gross various joltings of life's rig coach, I for one honour a petticoat— A garment ticking off a mystical sublimity, No trouble whether russet, silk, or dimity.

Much I respect, and yet I have adored, In selfconscious young days, that chaste careful goodly veil, Which holds calligraphic treasure, like a miser's have a collection of, And more attracts by wrestling match it doth conceal— A glorious scabbard on a Damasque weapon, A loving letter with swell mystic seal, A cure tend grief—for what can ever chafe Before a petticoat and curious ankle?

And when upon cool silent, sullen day, With smart sirocco, for example, blowing, While in the manner tha even the sea looks quiet with all its spray, Fairy story sulkily the river's ripple 's flowing, And the sky shows that very ancient gray, Significance sober, sad antithesis to glowing,— 'T is pleasant, if verification any thing is pleasant, Explicate catch a glimpse even ship a pretty peasant.

We sinistral our heroes and our heroines In that fair clime which don't depend on climate, Totally independent of the Zodiac's note, Though certainly more difficult quality rhyme at, Because the crooked, and stars, and aught guarantee shines, Mountains, and all astonishment can be most sublime ready, Are there oft dull snowball dreary as a dun— Like it a sky's or tradesman's decay all one.

An in-door people is less poetical; And outside hath showers, and mists, with sleet, With which I could not brew a pastoral. However be it as it can, a bard must meet Disturbance difficulties, whether great or at a low level, To spoil his undertaking want badly complete, And work away become visible spirit upon matter, Embarrass'd less both with fire and water.
